• June is the time for daylilies. Daylilies need very little care once established, and repeat bloomers provide color all season long.
• With the hot days of June, it is important to keep your plants watered. Stressing plants can lead to disease and make them susceptible to insects.
• Planting new plants this month is not a problem, but you must keep an eye on newly planted flora and not allow them to dry out. Using a good 2-3 inch layer of mulch will help in keeping the roots cool and moist.
• Regular fertilizing should be done to keep your plants healthy and blooming. There are many fertilizers available on the market. Just follow package directions for the correct application.
• Houseplants can be put outside on your decks, porches, or patios now. Place in an area not in direct sun.
• Keep deadheading those flowers. A flower’s job is to reproduce by making seeds. Seeds are made from the flowers, so if you keep your flowers deadheaded, it will continue to produce flowers.
